The '''Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy''' (SEP) is a [[Open access|freely-accessible]] [[online encyclopedia]] of [[philosophy]] maintained by [[Stanford University]]. The SEP was initially developed with U.S. public funding from the [[National Endowment for the Humanities|NEH]] and [[National Science Foundation|NSF]]. A long-term fundraising plan to preserve open access to the Encyclopedia is supported by many university libraries and library consortia. These institutions contribute under a plan devised by the SEP in collaboration with the [[Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition]] (SPARC), the [[International Coalition of Library Consortia]] (ICOLC) and the [[Southeastern Library Network]] (SOLINET), with matching funding from the NEH. Each entry is written and maintained by an [[expert]] in the field, including [[professor]]s from over 65 [[academic institution]]s worldwide. Apart from its online status, the encyclopedia uses the traditional academic approach of most encyclopedias and academic [[journal]]s to achieve quality by means of:
* specialist authors selected by an [[editing|editor]] or an editorial committee which is competent (though not necessarily a specialist) in the field covered by the encyclopedia; and
* [[peer review]].
Authors contributing to the Encyclopedia give Stanford University the permission to publish the articles but retain the [[copyright]] to those articles.<ref>[http://plato.stanford.edu/info.html#c Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy Copyright Information]</ref>
The Encyclopedia was created in [[1995]] by [[Edward N. Zalta]], with the explicit aim of providing a dynamic encyclopedia which is updated regularly, and so does not become dated in the manner of print encyclopedias. The charter for the encyclopedia allows for rival articles on a single topic to reflect reasoned disagreements amongst scholars.
